A cabin awaits outside time. A plane descends into darkness. An execution is ordered. There is No Return. No Return is a collection of six science fiction and slipstream stories by award-winning screenwriter and playwright Cairo Smith. Ranging from yearning to macabre, they span a decade of futurist imagination, written from 2013 to 2023. "Presence," a prescient exploration of AI web agents, first ran in VICE's Terraform in 2013. Otherworldly romance "The Palisade" appeared online in 2021. All other stories in the collection are previously unpublished, available now for the first time in digital and print.
